Gum disease, known also as periodontal disease, is far more common than you may think. Each year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on the heart, and we at New Image Dentistry have been helping spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently found a great article outlining several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:
*Raisins
*Green Tea
*Whole Grains
In addition to these foods being gums-friendly, they happen to be healthy foods in general, and a great option to begin integrating into your diet.
Have a great weekend!

When I visited my one of our dentists in Collierville last week, I just learned how heart health and oral health are related. I'm quite amazed at first, but then it dawned on me. I need to take care of my gums and teeth even better. Thanks a lot for point out foods that are both good to the gums and heart, Dr. Blourchian.
ReplyDeleteGood thing also for me to visit one of the best dentists Collierville has, for he'd always look after my teeth and his other patients as well.
